Light is essential for the growth and development of your bonsai tree. Different tree species require varying amounts of light, and finding the right balance is crucial. Generally, it's best to place your bonsai tree in a well-lit area, but away from direct sunlight.
Watering is another crucial aspect of bonsai care. Over-watering can cause root rot, while under-watering can lead to dehydration and death. We recommend checking the soil regularly and watering only when it's dry to the touch. Be sure to give your tree the right amount of water, but not too much or too little.
Choosing the right soil for your bonsai tree is essential for its health and longevity. Bonsai trees require soil that provides the right balance of water retention and drainage. Our team can help you select the best soil for your tree and provide instructions for how to properly repot your tree.
